Abstract:
PPZ Berlin has the aim of integrating digital assistance systems into everyday healthcare. ASH Berlin has the task of evaluating the tested digital solutions with regard to long-term financial viability in hospitals, long-term care and outpatient care. The integration of technical applications into existing nursing processes and the active involvement of nurses ensure that technology supports nursing instead of dominating it. Through a process analysis before and after the implementation of digital solutions, changes will be recorded and analysed. The first stage considers important nursing phenomena such as dementia, falls, diabetes, bedsores and vital signs. In further stages, additional requirements and solutions can be incorporated and digital networking between nursing and care settings can be established.
